White Stork

White Stork near Newborough

I rarely seem to digiscope in anger these days and after initial distant views of this stork I was passing by early afternoon so nipped in to find it right by the roadside and was pretty pleased with these shots in the haze.

When it started feeding it walked gingerly on through the stubble and on one occasion patting a row of cut stems with its foot no doubt attempting to pursuade a few beetles to run out.
